The Washington Post asked a bunch of pundits/gurus/big-names for their electoral predictions.
There's a big list of folks, and almost all see Obama winning.

Among the names on the list. Jim Cramer, who has a SUPER aggressive Obama call.

Whereas most folks see Obama just moderately getting over the 270 mark, he sees Obama winning 440 electoral votes, with 55% of the vote.Source

440 might be a trifle over-optimistic.

But there is no extra prize past 271, as far as I know. Unless there is some obscure provision in the Constitution which says any candidate with more than 380 electoral votes automatically gets a date with either Eva Green or Keira Knightley - and both if he nets more than 420?

This guy is about the only guy I trust less than Dick Morris. As an Obama supporter, it scares the crap out of me!

I heard a lot of this garbage before the marriage vote in North Carolina. I had to bite my tongue so hard that it should be at least an inch shorter than it is. I so hoped and prayed that what I was hearing was not true and was so joyed when the actual vote came. I look forward to Tuesday and I hope a lot of ignorant people get to shut their mouths then too. You may be right, but I am praying that you are not.

Obama will win with over 300 electoral votes (probably 306.5 but Florida is also a toss up for he might bag Florida as well though I think it will edge slightly Romney), we all know Obama is going to win by a wide margin on the EV count, but I think Cramer is out to lunch claiming it would be over 400. He's off be at least 100 electoral votes.

I do love how the same media figures who have spent the last month claiming the election was some how close, no doubt in an attempt to boost ratings, have suddenly joined the rest of us in the reality based universe and are now admitting that Obama is going to run away with a wide lead in the electoral count. Better late than never, I guess.
